Long avaited new CLA facelift! Design exterior and interior, as well as infotainment changes, and technical changes as well, mild hybrid, 8G DCT gearbox and Multibeam LED are now with technology from E Class facelift! How do you like it and do you prefer it over the pre facelift?! Let me know!
It's a shame that they remove the touchpad, apart from the fact that you could switch between views, music and browser, you could keep your central screen clean without fingerprints, and using the rudder buttons that are complicated does not seem a success to me. It's a real shame.
In Apple CarPlay there are on the screen, or within the MBUX menu there is a pop up from the bottom as well, and I believe there is one as well in the middle of the instrument panel
I currently have a 2019 Lincoln MKZ that I may consider trading in come Spring. This vehicle is absolutely stunning and really sparking my interest. The only negative feedback I have is for that odd, plastic tray in the middle. What on earth is that there for??? It’s in such an awkward spot and looks as if that’s where the cupholders should be. I have no idea what you would even put in there/use that for and it looks like something that’s unfinished.
As soon as there will be a test car! But I spoke to some customers which already have new 35 AMG and they said it is now much better from low rpms, so I expect improved outcome. Let's see
Like your video's Ivan - thanks for the good work! Will there coming a test drive video as well? I ordered a new CLA 200d in the facelift version but I've to wait till February. Would be pretty cool and looking forward to it :-)
its amazing how Mercedes can get away with not having a button to close the truck for the money you spend, I felt so bad when I pulled up on my friend in a kia and they had so much tec. on there car compared to my Mercedes, and they paid less then half for it SMDH
My opinion on new facelift version: - steering wheel with captive buttons - no touchpad/trackpack!! WHY - less LED in rearlights - still not electronic close on trunk, not even option for it. - rear seat passengers now have just 1 USB charging port instead of 2 and no storage space along with it + way better headlights with presumably better adaptive high beams + better fidelity and presumably fluidity of the new MBUX system +/- new front bumper design that is hit or miss, for me, I like the old one better this one looks more electric conclusion: better stick with the old CLA! Good high quality and informative video Ivan Sensei!
You compare 2 models, both of them doesnt have electric close on trunk so it can not be minus :D I like the new rearlights more, but i suppose you can place there the old ones on mechanic if you like. Steering wheel and trackpad i agree. (I suppose you can mount old steering wheel as well) Facelift has also other improvements: mild hybrid, 8 gear box, optional aeroimproved rims TBH i think like we are missing true CLC 4 door coupe
@@korges2590 Thanks for these additional insights! Forgot about the 8 transmission gearbox and didnt know it had a small electro motor. Good to know thanks.
i agree with you but i like the old daylights way more... overall the old one is the better car in my opinion... the only thing to argue is maybe that the multi beam lights improved... but im happy with the old ones aswell..
@@korges2590 funny thing is that the facelif is now slower, literally all 0-100 numbers went up a little bit... i wouldn describe this as an "improvement"...
We are off to look at the new CLA shooting brake this week. We think it looks really good in white, but what is everyone's favourite colour for this model ?
I have a cla 35 in white and it looks amazing, complements the black details of the car. I'd say if the car you are looking at has a lot of black details then go for white
I dont think that the design is "improved"... The grile is new, i like the older one more, i also like the old daylights more... The Front Bump er actually nearly looks like the CLA AMG C117 from 2017.. It is bascially just a mix of already existing Models. For me the old one has more charakter...
@@IvanSensei im driving the old one, its a great car and my second one... do you know if mercedes will cancel the CLA completely and replace it with the electric "EQC"?
@adidkjf I think I've read an article where some from the Mercedes managers said that future next gen CLA will be electric platform and on this platform combustion versions will also be made. But I can't remember where I've read it. I think it is too soon right know to do only EV CLA.

That, the seat adjustment on the door, that ugly screen pull over the cup holders. Honestly just dumb adjustments.@@mariogb007
whats the color of this? polar or digital white?
Polar
Do you think in this new version there's buttons to directly skip track (fast forward) when you're playing music?
In Apple CarPlay there are on the screen, or within the MBUX menu there is a pop up from the bottom as well, and I believe there is one as well in the middle of the instrument panel
Great review. Is this polar white?
What are the exterior color options? Can you get one in Colorado grey? That would like tight with the black effects package.
Are the turn signals amber or red? Thanks.
Hi Ivan, did you already post the night time drive off the 2023 Mercedes AMG GT 63 S E Performance?

beautiful toy! enjoy!
Great video, please can you do the new Shooting Brake too ?
Very good review !!
Why does some CLA AMG-lines facelift now have white roof and not black? Always black on the pre-facelift.
When we can expect first drive videos? Would like to get to know what do you think about engine upgrades. (gearbox + mild hybrid)
As soon as there will be a test car! But I spoke to some customers which already have new 35 AMG and they said it is now much better from low rpms, so I expect improved outcome. Let's see
And that the gearbox acts like in the 45, more smooth and faster shifts
is the face lift only for the amg model
You should get the prefacelift as well to show the difference 😄 i got the same colour but the prefacelift .build this year
Will do this, if it will be possible
Beautiful Mercedes
Like your video's Ivan - thanks for the good work! Will there coming a test drive video as well? I ordered a new CLA 200d in the facelift version but I've to wait till February. Would be pretty cool and looking forward to it :-)
Thanks! I will, as soon as it will be available
@@IvanSenseistill waiting 😭
Is Multibeam LED really that much better than in the old CLA? Whats the difference exactly?
Yes, much better. Pre facelift 18 LEDs, now 84 LEDs. Much more precise in terms of where light can me dimmed for the other cars in traffic
whats the color of this? polar or digital white?
Polar
Beautiful Cars
How much is it this car
its amazing how Mercedes can get away with not having a button to close the truck for the money you spend, I felt so bad when I pulled up on my friend in a kia and they had so much tec. on there car compared to my Mercedes, and they paid less then half for it SMDH
Thanks for montioning the head room thanks
Do you sell cars?
Ivan what is the colour of this CLA?
Looks like "polar white" (default paint)
Polar white, costs about 330 in Europe. Night black is for free. Metallic costs 900, patagonia red 1200 and mountaingrey magno 2600
Watch my video where I compared polar white and diamond white ruclips.net/video/Nl56bpH-zAg/видео.html
bad move to remove the touchpad.. it looks soo ugly and cheap now
My opinion on new facelift version:
- steering wheel with captive buttons
- no touchpad/trackpack!! WHY
- less LED in rearlights
- still not electronic close on trunk, not even option for it.
- rear seat passengers now have just 1 USB charging port instead of 2 and no storage space along with it
+ way better headlights with presumably better adaptive high beams
+ better fidelity and presumably fluidity of the new MBUX system
+/- new front bumper design that is hit or miss, for me, I like the old one better this one looks more electric
conclusion:
better stick with the old CLA!

I have it digital white metallic but the pre facelift of this clip
When will I have a car just like this
Make a plan and work towards it, go for it!
I’m pissed I just got a 2023 😓
Girl same!! I just got my 2023 too and they barely released this new 2024?? Smh 🤦🏻♀️

LIVE NOW ruclips.net/video/XDmjn1l4qe4/видео.html
It's NOT an AMG...
Amg package
I don’t like front shape 😑
Bof...almost nothing changed, we need a whole new design
All about fine tuning and adding a lot of things here and there
mercedes ohhh my mercedes, why are you bastardising the amg badge ?
Such a cheap interior
Why?
